Aubameyang can revive Arsenal, Butland lays bare Stoke’s shameful truth and West Ham would be foolish to ditch Moyes

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang might not be a classic Arsène Wenger signing because he cost a lot of money and is already close to his peak but at 28 he is certainly a man who can lead the next incarnation of Arsenal. Alongside Alexandre Lacazette the duo showed how exciting Arsenal can still be even if Burnley looked like a team packed for their summer holidays as they made up the numbers, offering less energy than the post-match speeches, in what was effectively a testimonial at the Emirates. Wenger might rue the fact he missed bringing the Gabonese international Aubameyang to England earlier – a striker not deemed good enough by Milan in his youth would have made the perfect project for the outgoing manager – but he is still leaving behind something tangible for someone to work with for years to come.

A sensational last-gasp escape from relegation remains possible for West Brom thanks to Jake Livermore’s stoppage time winner. If other results go in their favour – they need Swansea and Southampton to draw on Tuesday for a start – then victory at Crystal Palace next Sunday could secure their survival.

That outcome seemed utterly implausible when Darren Moore stepped into the vacancy left by the dismissal of Alan Pardew last month but Moore has transformed the team’s fortunes, inspiring a run of three wins and two draws from his five matches at the helm. No wonder the crowd clamoured here for him to be appointed on a permanent basis.

West Bromwich Albion have to win against Tottenham and if successful they must rely on Swansea losing again to avoid relegation for another week. This feels highly unlikely, despite Darren Moore’s positive influence on the Baggies, as West Brom last beat Tottenham at the Hawthorns in 2008. Maurico Pochettino’s side are yet to secure a place in the Champions League next season and will be hungry to edge even closer to another crack at Europe’s elite with victory. Graham Searles

All four finalists for both the Champions League and the Europa League have been confirmed but that has not stopped the European press from fast forwarding through to this summer’s transfer window, with speculation and rumours circulating across the continent.

Tottenham are ready to bid £30m for the Southampton left-back Ryan Bertrand, according to the Star, who forecast a significant shake-up in Mauricio Pochettino’s defence. Danny Rose will leave, they predict, with Manchester United his most likely destination, and Toby Alderweireld, who has started just 11 league games this season because of injury and a subsequent failure to regain his place in the team, will probably go with him. The Star say that Chelsea and Paris St-Germain are both interested in the Belgian, but the Express adds Manchester United and Arsenal to that list. Spurs might then move for Swansea’s Alfie Mawson, even though his club are demanding something between £50m (Star) and £40m (Express) for his services. Meanwhile according to the Express, United, Newcastle and Wolves will all join the scrap for Bertrand should the Saints be relegated.

Arsenal will grab Freiburg’s 21-year-old Turkish centre-half Caglar Soyuncu, after the president of his former club, Altinordu of the Turkish second division, let the transfer secret slip (apparently in a speech at the International Football Economic Forum, leaving some question marks over his discretion), though the Independent insist they “want a whole new back five” including a younger goalkeeper – Jan Oblak would be ideal, but probably unaffordable – Borussia Dortmund’s Sokratis Papastathopoulos at centre-half, and two unnamed full-backs to replace the ageing Nacho Monreal and the departing Hector Bellerin, whose future may lie at Juventus.
